Creative Coaching

Nicole Young has a BFA with a major in painting and drawing and a minor in art history and visual culture. She has been working as a professional artist for 3 years. While Nicole primarily creates abstract paintings, her education has given her a wide range of knowledge in a variety of art forms. Nicole's goal is to share her knowledge with others, as she believes that everyone has the capacity for creativity and to thrive through art making. These sessions are tailored to the needs of each individual, making them perfect for all levels of artistic ability.

In person Session - 1 hour, $100

This coaching service will be preceded by a 15 minute phone call 1 week prior to our meeting where we will briefly discuss your goals and what you hope to learn. During your session we will examine your work together and discuss your strengths and weaknesses, aesthetics, your studio habits, creative process and anything else that you would like to focus on. I can even teach you specific painting techniques if that's what you're interested in! Together we will create plan to help you move forward in your art practice.
